I have some manual (for Gentoo) which checks if the necessary drivers are compiled in the kernel:
zgrep "CONFIG_USB_ohci_hcd" /proc/config.gz
and
zgrep "CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC" /proc/config.gz
and I got errors.
I have Knoppix 5.0.1 installed on my laptop and try to connect the internet but the prerequisite is that I have OHCI HCD support and USB Serial drivers (must be compiled as a module!!!). How to check it ? And how to make it if configuration isn't as suppose to be ? Please help.
